Recensioni de* critic*

Bergman's formal perfection fosters a sense of the sexual and emotional uncanny, offering a clear-eyed view of murky human will that's understood to be a paradox.

While an undeniably powerful conclusion, one can be forgiven for wondering if Bergman’s taciturnity toward the film in print suggests he preferred cinematic ellipses and question marks, as well.

A harrowing, yet ultimately affirming portrait of faith, humanity, and atonement.
